My two cents: at the end of the day, I consume/play creative works because they are just that, created. They are a way of sharing in the skills and talents of another person, whether it's their ability to craft fantasy spacecraft out of nothing but Blender and their own imagination, to craft a piece of music that they devised, or to deliver a great vocal performance. That creative spark is a fundamental part of the human existence as far as I'm concerned. If the mass-market entertainment industry starts going the way of soulless algorithm-generated pablum, then they've officially lost me as a customer. I'll stick to what's being made by actual people.
And that's before you get into the massive ethical issues raised by applying generative AI to a deceased person's voice in order to generate a novel performance without their or their family members' permission. No thank you.
